msql_pconnect

Description

resourcemsql_pconnect
([ string$hostname
] )

msql_pconnect() acts very much like
msql_connect() with two major differences.

First, when connecting, the function would first try to find a
(persistent) link that's already open with the same host.
If one is found, an identifier for it will be returned instead of opening
a new connection.

Second, the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when the
execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain open for
future use (msql_close() will not close links
established by this function).

Parameters

hostname

The hostname can also include a port number. e.g.
hostname,port.

If not specified, the connection is established by the means of a Unix
domain socket, being more efficient than a localhost TCP socket
connection.

Note:
While this function will accept a colon (:) as a
host/port separator, a comma (,) is the preferred
method.

Return Values

Returns a positive mSQL link identifier on success, or FALSE on
error.
